We started out the Fourth of July with the boys' first parade, in the Village of Manlius. We started out with forty pounds of candy, minus the few pieces we ate that morning. We ended up with four Dum-dum lollipops.
While we were waiting in the staging area we read books on a picnic table in the shade and met some of the other candidates' families. Our driver, Dana, was super-gracious and generous and the boys had a great time checking out his awesome 1969 Camaro. He also bought them waters and yo-yos that they enjoyed learning how to operate.
It was fun to see the parade from the other side of the curb this year! Reed sat out the walking part of the parade with Grandpa Greg and Grandma Kathy and he reportedly loved clapping and pointing at the people and things in the parade.
The boys' favorite part of the day was riding in the 1969 Camaro on the way back from the end of the parade route to our car.
